Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid

Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid is an antifungal agent. Additionally, Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid exhibits anticancer activity by inducing apoptosis in cancer cells through the regulation of ROS generation. Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid can upregulate the expression of IL-8 and ICAM-1 while inhibiting the release of RANTES and MCP-1, demonstrating its potential immunomodulatory effects. Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid holds significant research value in the areas of anti-infection, anticancer, and immune response modulation[1][2][3][4].
